The Canadian Union of Postal Workers may announce strike action on July 1, 2016. In the event of a postal strike, IELTS Test Centres will not be able to mail results to recognizing organizations or Test Report Forms (TRF) to candidates. Strike action would affect the mailing of current results for tests from June 18th onwards and extra TRF requests for the duration of any stoppage in service from Canada Post. For urgent mailing of your test results or extra TRFs, centres are able to offer courier delivery for an additional fee.

As of Monday July 11, 2016 the price for the IELTS test in Halifax, Moncton, Sackville and St. FX will go up to $310 (HST included). Pay before Monday July 11, 2016 and you will receive the current price of $295 for Halifax, and $309 for Moncton, Sackville and St. FX.
